What's sexier than a man who knows how to turn up the heat in the kitchen?

Not much. Which is why we're thrilled to have our little oven mitts on Besh Big Easy, the new cookbook released today from the locally beloved John Besh. Celebrating the quintessential cuisine of New Orleans, fork your way through 101 recipes that this top shelf chef prepares in his very own home. Not only will you get his steps to making crawfish beignets, gumbos and rustic fig tarts (pictured), he also divulges his secrets for mastering city staples like making a roux and perfecting one-pot meals.
